<h1>BREAKING: N.Y. Rep. Chris Lee resigns after Craigslist personals scandal
</h1>

Quote :

"Washington (CNN) - Republican Rep. Christopher Lee of New York resigned his House seat Wednesday following a report that the married congressman had tried to meet a woman on Craigslist. "It has been a tremendous honor to serve the people of Western New York," said a statement by Lee posted on his website. "I regret the harm that my actions have caused my family, my staff and my constituents. I deeply and sincerely apologize to them all. I have made profound mistakes and I promise to work as hard as I can to seek their forgiveness." The statement said that "the challenges we face in Western New York and across the country are too serious for me to allow this distraction to continue, and so I am announcing that I have resigned my seat in Congress effective immediately." Just before 6 p.m., an announcement read on the House floor said Lee had resigned as of 5 p.m. Wednesday and the number of the House members decreased by one from 435 to 434. Lee, who is married and has a son, resigned after the website Gawker published an item reporting he corresponded with a woman who posted a Craigslist ad and allegedly sent her a bare-chested photo of himself. The speed of Lee's resignation indicated a culture of zero tolerance by House Republicans for potentially controversial behavior so soon after winning control of the chamber for the first time since 2007. Lee was first elected to Congress in 2008 from New York's 26th district in the western part of the state, which includes suburbs of both Buffalo and Rochester. He won re-election last November."

I'm still wondering how this has any relation to his job as a congressman. Sounds personal to me.

Oh that's right, we live in America, the American Idol, TMZ culture.

Yes, because our preoccupation with the sex lives of politicians started in 2002.

2/10/2011 12:37:49 AM

pre-occupation not withstanding, when did we begin letting the sitcom-appearance of a politician dictate who we vote for?

2/10/2011 12:39:07 AM

I really don't wanna act look an idiot jerk, but I'm not quite sure what you're talking about.

Did a politician appear on a sitcom recently?

If he can't be trusted by the person that trusts him most (his wife) then certainly we cannot trust him either as second rate citizens.

guy code is a perfect example of why that is bullshit

I was referring to the situations politicians get themselves in which are worthy of sitcom subject matter.

This is the crux of the matter. He's clearly an idiot, and I'd prefer it if known idiots did not serve in Congress.

He is pretty jacked.

2/10/2011 8:22:15 AM

well, it's a step up from being blown in a reststop bathroom by some random dude, that's for sure

so they're getting better with their fuckups, good for them

2/10/2011 8:29:07 AM

and why in the hell did he use his real name. on craigslist. in the place where he's in the house of fucking representatives. i guess he really did think that NO ONE knows who their house rep is.
